Specialized Owner-Operator Recruitment

Recruiting owner-operators requires more than collecting names and telephone numbers. The owner-operator’s equipment, location, preferred freight, operating lanes, home-time expectations, authority status, and business goals must align with the opportunity your company offers. Owner Operator Connections provides specialized owner-operator recruiting services for motor carriers, trucking companies, and fleets.

We identify potential prospects, conduct recruitment research, compare available information with your requirements, and prepare organized recruiting profiles for your team. Your company reviews the profiles and decides which owner-operators to contact.
